Geno has been saying that he has been trying to get across to Sarah how good she is and for her to play "like an All American".  Maybe the following "apples to apples" comparison would help him get the message across.

Without question the greatest career scorer in Husky history is Maya Moore.   Several people here in the yard have put the two in the same sentence.  Of course, it is far far too soon to compare Sarah who has played only 9 games with a legend who played for a full 4 years in Storrs.  But perhaps it is not too soon to compare Sarah's 9 games with Maya's first 9 games?  Here are the numbers:

Maya                                                                         Sarah                                                     Comments

Points                            144                                                                              144                                                     Identical

Rebounds                       56                                                                                 68                                                     A 20% advantage for Sarah

Assists                             30                                                                                 31                                                     Essentially equal

Steals                               14                                                                                22                                                      A 40% advantage for Sarah

Blocks                               17                                                                               13                                                      A 30% advantage for Maya

Turnovers                         17                                                                                12                                                     A 40% advantage for Sarah

Fouls Committed              15                                                                                14                                                    Essentially equal

The above numbers represent roughly a quarter of the current Husky season, is that enough to get a sense that Sarah's performances have been consistent enough to give some credence to the numbers?  I think these numbers slightly favor Sarah, again for a nine-game stretch, which is all we have for her.   But sometimes stark numbers can speak more loudly than mere words.  Perhaps Geno might be able to use these numbers to get Sarah to accept his evaluation of her potential which I think we would all agree is far better than what could be accomplished in her first few college games?

Our fellow BYer, JRRRJ recently provided a quite interesting "efficiency formula" which added some perspective to various UCONN greats.  I wonder if he would be good enough to compare the efficiency scores of Maya and Sarah for us to have as well?
